Personal Standards Activity Worksheet - Google Doc Link (yet to be linked).
Assignment: Complete the following sections of the Unit of Study on http://rittionline.wikispaces.com/ using the link on the Unit of Study Page Template page: GLEs / GSEs, Notes, Clarifications and prerequisites regarding standards, and Additional Learner Outcomes.
Assignment: You Tube is blocked at most public schools yet You Tube is a valuable resource. Search You Tube to locate a video that would help students better understand a concept you are trying to teach (a video that supports your Unit of Study would be better!). Use a file converter website to convert the identified YouTube video so that you can play the video at school. Post the converted video to your personal website.
Converters Keepvid is great. You just put in the URL and download
HDDownloader works the same way and requires a plug in
ZamZar is my favorite because not only does it convert videos, it converts many other files as well.
Assignment: Thinkfinity, supported by the Verizon Foundation, offers comprehensive teaching and learning resources created by Thinkfinity content partners – the most respected organizations in each academic subject and literacy. The easy-to-navigate K-12 resources are grade-specific and are aligned with state standards. There is something for every content area and grade level!
